This change could be an adjustment for advertisers who rely heavily on Google Ads for revenue,” writes Carolyn Lyden. User testing will allow advertisers to provide Google with feedback on their experiences with the model, including attribution, ad fraud prevention, and anti-fingerprinting.

There is no doubt that bid automation is one of the most important topics discussed in the digital marketing industry. It is not the issue of whether you should automate or not; rather, you are using automation to accomplish your goals and amplify your efforts to grow.

By Hannah Abbasi | Jan 27, 2021

Amazon became a retail cornerstone in 2020, and many brands became overly dependent on it. Consumer habits created during the pandemic remain, so it is vital to know how to maximize Amazon’s potential rather than trying to fit products and brands into Amazon. Amazon has evolved into an experience platform in its own right, and the leading brands will treat it as such. Hannah Abbasi recommends, “Supplement what you know by maximizing your data – be that transactional, reviews, employee feedback – so you have a bank of behavioral insights. From there, deploy the three-step approach to keeping the customers you hook in with content, advertisement and fulfillment. That being, take advantage of Amazon’s Brand Registry program.”
